There’s something deeply comforting about a warm, spiced coffee—especially when it’s made with a bean as layered and expressive as Morning Mist. This Spiced Honey Latte brings out the earthy chocolate tones and orange-like brightness of our Kenyan single origin and pairs them with just the right amount of cinnamon, cardamom, and natural honey to create a cup that feels both soothing and quietly luxurious.
It’s not complicated, just beautifully balanced—and a perfect example of how a few simple additions can complement, not mask, a great coffee.
What You’ll Need
Equipment
-
Espresso machine, AeroPress, or moka pot
-
Milk steamer or a small saucepan and whisk
-
Grinder (if using whole beans)
-
Your favourite mug
Ingredients
-
30ml espresso or strong brewed Morning Mist
-
180ml milk of your choice (dairy, oat, or almond all work)
-
1 tsp honey (adjust to taste)
-
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
-
Pinch of ground cardamom
-
Optional: dusting of cinnamon or grated orange zest to top
How to Make It
1. Brew your coffee
Start by pulling a single espresso shot (about 30ml) or making a strong 30ml brew using an AeroPress or moka pot. Morning Mist’s medium-dark roast and citrus brightness really shine in concentrated form.
2. Heat and spice your milk
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk with the cinnamon, cardamom, and honey, whisking to combine until warm and slightly frothy. (If using a steam wand, mix the spices and honey into the milk beforehand.)
3. Build your latte
Pour the espresso into your favourite mug, then slowly add the spiced milk. Give it a gentle stir to bring everything together.
4. Finish it off
Top with a light dusting of cinnamon—or, for something a bit special, a pinch of fresh orange zest.
Why It Works with Morning Mist
This coffee is all about depth and vibrancy. The spices and honey don’t overpower—they accentuate the floral notes, bring out the cocoa richness, and complement the citrus acidity with warmth and subtle sweetness. It’s a latte that feels crafted, intentional, and just a little bit indulgent.
It’s the perfect slow morning drink, or an afternoon break that feels like a ritual. And like all our coffees, it’s Bird Friendly certified and supports wild parrot conservation, so every sip does a little good, too.
